One day the food spread of Imam Hasan (a.s) was laid out and some guests were dining upon it. The Imam was also seated with them. A slave inadvertently dropped a bowl of soup on the Imam’s dress, then began to tremble with fear, and said:
…and those who restrain (their) anger… (Surah Aale Imran 3:134)
The Imam said, “Go, I have forgiven you.” Then the slave said:
…and pardon me; (Ibid.)
To this the Imam (a.s) replied, “I free you for the sake of Allah.” Then at last he said:
…and Allah loves the doers of good (to others). (Ibid.)
The Imam handed him money wrapped up in a handkerchief and bid him adieu. Reference :Akhlaq al-A’imma, Morals & Manners of the Holy Imams
